                    Banking of road

The maximum permissible velocity with which vehicle can go round a level curved road without skidding depends on the coefficient of friction (μ) between the tyres and the road The value of Î¼ decreases when road is smooth or tyres of the vehicle are worn out or the road is wet and so on. Thus force of friction is not a reliable source for providing the required centripetal force to the vehicle.

A safer course of action would be to raise outer edge of the curved road shove the inner edge. By doing so, a component of normal reaction of the road shall be spared to provide the centripetal force. This phenomenon of raising outer edge of the curved road above the inner edge is called banking of roads. It's facilitates vehicles to turn without slipping.

Three forces are acting on the vehicle as shown in Figure below. 

(i) Weight mg of the vehicle acting vertically downwards. 

(ii) Normal reaction R of the banked road acting upwards in a direction perpendicular to OA. 

(iii) Force of friction F between the banked road and the tyres, acting along AO. #himanshu swiz

R can be resolved into two rectangular components : (i) R cos Î¸, along vertically upward direction (ii) R sin Î¸, along the horizontal, towards the centre of the curved road. 

F can also be resolved into two rectangular components:

(i) F cos Î¸ along the horizontal, towards the centre of curved road.

(ii) F sin Î¸, along vertically downward direction.

As there is no acceleration along the vertical direction, the net force along this direction must be zero.

Therefore,

             R cos Î¸ = mg + F sin Î¸

 If v is velocity of the vehicle over the banked circular road of radius, then centripetal force required =m×v²/r. This is provided by the horizontal components of R and F as shown in figure at right.

Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium || Relation between Beryllium and Aluminium

-
  Diagonal Relationship between Beryllium and Aluminium The ionic radius of Beryllium (Be 2+) is estimated to be nearly 31 pm; the charge/radius ratio Or e/m ratio is nearly the same as that of the Al 3+ ion. Hence beryllium resembles aluminium in these ways. Some of the similarities are given below: » Like Aluminium, Beryllium(be) is not readily attacked by acids H+ donor because of the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the metal by reacting with oxygen, i.e. they are rendered passive by nitric acid. » Beryllium hydroxide[[Be(OH)4]2] dissolves in excess of alkali to give a beryllate ion, [ Be(OH)4]2– just as aluminium hydroxide[Al(OH)3] gives aluminate ion, [Al(OH)4] » The chlorides of metals beryllium and aluminium have Cl– bridged chloride structure in vapour phase. Both the chlorides are soluble in organic solvents and are strong as Lewis acids They are used as Friedel Craft catalysts. » Beryllium(Be) and aluminium(Al) ions have strong tendency to form complexes, (BeF4)2

QUANTUM NUMBERS (Principal, Azimuthal, Magnetic and Spin)

                  QUANTUM NUMBERS  Orbitals represent regions in the space around the nucleus where the probability of finding the electron is maximum. A large number of electron orbitals are possible in atom. These can be distinguished by their size, shape and orientation of the orbitals. To describe each electron in an atom in different orbitals, we need a set of three numbers known as quantum numbers. These are designated as n, l and m. In addition to these three numbers another quantum number is also needed which specifies the spin of the electron. These four numbers are called quantum numbers. These are discussed below: 1. Principal quantum number (n) :  This quantum number determines the main energy shell or level in which the electron is present. It is denoted by n. It can have whole number values starting from 1 such as n = 1, 2, 3, 4 ... This quantum number also identifies as shell. The shell with n 1 is called the first shell. The shell with n 2 is called the second shell and

                    INTRODUCTION : The s- block elements of the periodic table are those in which the last electron enters  into the outermost s-orbital. As the s-orbital can accommodate only two electrons, in two group (1 & 2) belong to the s-block of the periodic table. Group 1 of the periodic table consists of the elements : lithium (L i), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (R b), caesium (C s) and francium (F r). They are collectively known as alkali metals. These are called because they forms hydroxides on reaction with water which are strongly alkaline in nature. The elements of Group 2nd include beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg), calcium (C a), strontium (S r), barium (B a) and radium (Ra). These elements with the exception of Beryllium are commonly known as the alkaline earth metals. These are so called because their oxide and hydroxide are alkaline in nature and these metal oxides are found in the earth’s crust . The general electronic configuration of s- block element is
